  1. I built a P-2 many years ago in 1/25 scale. Not as detailed with engines & opening doors. Tires are what I could find that are close. Engines for P-2? As I recall the engines in a P-2 were Continental like the O-11 had. Most of the model truck kits now days have a Cummings diesel engine. Leave off the injection & all diesel parts add intake with a carburetor. The rebuilt P-2 by Quality Manufacturing in Talladega Alabama. I worked there on the P-4 rebuilds. The new engine for P-2 was as I recall were Detroit Diesel 8 V 92 TA. I was at Firefighting school in Chanute AFB Ill. when the first proposed P-2 rebuild was unloaded from transport trailer. Allegedly the person who took the wheel & drove the new P-2 as normally would. The front tires came off the ground. Mostly due to no water or foam in tanks lightened the P-2 to have breakneck power. I have a facebook page blog with my many builds of " Model Fire Apparatus" by same name. Pictures are of My P-2 & P-4 along with a New Bright Simba crash truck. The next picture is the engine compartment on P-2. Weird? I found the listing for this build on a search for pictures of Crash Trucks. I tried to find this form on IPMS home page forms. Nothing.
